City controlled the game and had 67% possession of the ball while Chelsea had 33% of ball possession. City were tipped to win the match but lost and now their unbeaten record has been broken.

Also, City needed to win in order to move up the table as Liverpool won earlier but now Liverpool are now league leaders following the defeat of City.
